I live here but not in the city nor do I go into the city often. Be careful please, it is very dangerous. But have fun, there is much to see, the food is very good, do try some of the restaurant and it is very hot right now and we have been having really bad weather in between. Be careful.

I know it wasn't directed at me, Michelle, but thanks for the advice, anyway. I'll post some pics when we get back. I already have quite a few, because Pensacola isn't too far away. We usually stop by St. Joseph's Abbey on the way in to town. Have you been there?


God Bless,

Neal

I was at St. Louis Cathedral about a week ago. Beautiful Church built in 1715. There is a great statue of St. Therese in the back of the church by the candles. If you have time, go to the Ursuline Convent about five blocks away. You will not reqret it. We went on the tour and was blown away with all of the history. The gift shop can direct you to the Convent, which was built in 1745 by the French. Have a good time in New Orleans. Its a great place to visit and do they have great food.

God Bless, GlynnW

I would love to go to New Orleans.

I am Acadian and from New Brunswick, Canada.

During the Acadian expulsion, many Acadians made their way down to Lousiana a settled there and are now Cajuns. I would like to see their culture, and see how different the French is from mine, and see the similarities too...

 

[Ampmonster]

Have fun "ya'll"

 

[Swoosh]

I can't wait! I have been to New Oreleans many times before, but have only seen the Cathedral from outside. I will also look into going to the convent if we have time! I remember reading the thread about it, and it sounds very neat!

God bless,

Their culture is eating anything that moves and ther French is broken. They talk real funny.

I could see that with the French, in New Brunswick, in areas where English and French overlap, there is a language called Chiac, which is and English/French mish mash..

Swoosh, PM me, please.

Here is a pic of my girlfriend and I in Nawlins' this past Saturday. No, there was no drunkeness, despite being on Bourbon Street. Mass was beautiful, very moving, as was the D-Day museum, which we went to on the 60th anniversary. I got to meet several D-Day Veterans. Never has a museum put a lump in my throat like that one did on that day.

God bless,

Neal
